Morellia Madness

[WrongPython]

And yes, once temps are in good order expect a bright yellow and jet black progression thread hah! Hope to see some West Papuan goodness on your end sooner than later too! Are you referring to Nick’s 2020 hatchlings? Eric’s? With unlimited space, time, and resources I’d have at least one of every carpet species if not a pair.

Wooo! You have fun with that little fireball, mate! In all honesty, the main reason her brother's out of the running over here is the locked-and-loaded vibe he gives off in his pictures. I don't mind a little fire in my snakes, but that looks like too much for me, thank you!

Yeah, I'm hoping things work out this time! How fast things work out comes down to the shipping times for various things, and that's always up in the air given the pandemic. As for whose Papuans I'm looking at... well, I have to leave some element of surprise. I'll leave y'all to speculate.

On the topic of dream Morelia: if size wasn't an issue, my preference would actually be diamond -> bredli -> Papuan -> Darwin/coastal/jungle. The ecological adaptation and evolutionary history of diamonds and bredli fascinate me, but they really run the risk of outgrowing me and becoming too much snake to manage, particularly as I grow older. The evolutionary history of Papuans is also interesting (ie. Australian-not-Australian carpets cut off from the rest of the carpet lineage by the flooding of the Torres Strait), so coupled with their more manageable size, they're first up on the list.
